The Amazing LEGO Axle Sorter

I once tried to sort my LEGO bricks, but I never really got around to finishing. Now, LEGO engineer Akiyuki, who brought us the "Great Ball Contraption", amazes us again with his "LEGO Axle Sorter". The ingenious contraption accurately sorts axles dumped into it by size. What's even cooler is that it appears so simple after you've seen it. You can check out a video of the machine in action over here.http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=5909]View the full article[/url]

Dear lord, I want to meet this guy. I love this. He's got a talent for such things. It's great, and I like how he focuses also on the details of his machine, not only on the general design of it. Stunningly awesome.

I always wonder the amount of dedication it takes to be able to produce such intricate mechanisms from mere plastic. Simply amazing work

And now that I think about it, if he just creates a big enough bucket, he could dump all his axles in that machine in the morning, and come back at lunch and his whole collection is sorted, all while he is doing other happy-go-lucky stuff. It's so useful, I wouldn't mind purchasing one for my collection
